Was Wang Dong'er Always This Bold?

So he had gotten where he was today entirely on his own! Entirely by writing a diary, huh? Huo Yuhao seemed even more interesting than I'd imagined.

For a moment, the same sarcastic thought appeared in the minds of every woman with a Diary Copy.

Yet as though rebutting their snark, the words Huo Yuhao recorded next in the Diary left everyone shocked and silent.

If things had followed the original plot, then even though Tang God King's various schemes had forced me into becoming his lackey and completely losing myself, my talent would not have disappeared.

Even if I had only inherited the divine position of the God of Emotion, one of the First Class Gods in the God Realm, I still would have relied on my extraordinary talent to create the Super Godly Artifact, the Eye of Destiny, forcibly raising the God of Emotion to the level of a God King.

As the Child of Destiny acknowledged by the Plane Will of Douluo Continent, did I need some beginner's gift pack for making Soul Tools? Ahem, actually, I did. This way, I could get started with Soul Tool crafting faster and thrive even at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!

Then all I wanted to say was, step back a little—I was about to head to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and show off! (Hands on hips.)

So when Huo Yuhao said at the very beginning that he would rise from a First Class God in the God Realm to a God King in the future, this was what he meant?

As expected of the Child of Destiny! Meanwhile, Tang San had ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago, yet after all this time, in order to maintain his status as a God King, he could only use his wife as a scabbard. Once he lost that rabbit, he would drop straight from a pseudo-God King to an ordinary First Class God!

Such thoughts appeared in the minds of every woman with a Diary Copy.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao moved closer to her deskmate, Wang Dong'er, and whispered.

"Huo Yuhao has already reached the border of the Sun Moon Empire. We need to set off soon too. Although the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy starts a few days later than Shrek Academy, if we keep delaying, we might be late."

Wang Dong'er nodded without changing expression. "Don't worry. We'll be leaving Shrek soon."

"Now that we're here, don't you want to see the teaching methods of the instructors at the Number One Academy on the Continent?"

Xiao Xiao did not argue, because she was just as curious about that.

She had always heard people praise Shrek, so she also wanted to see just how good this academy, which had endured for ten thousand years, truly was.

As they waited, Zhou Yi, the homeroom teacher of New Student Class One, finally entered the classroom.

She wore a Human-skin Mask fashioned into the appearance of an old woman, her face covered in wrinkles and her graying hair coiled atop her head. She looked like someone who was very difficult to get along with.

Once the students saw their homeroom teacher arrive, the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent. After sweeping her gaze across the room, Zhou Yi spoke in a hoarse voice that sounded like a broken gong.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher. I don't know how many of you will make it through the coming year with me. But let me tell you this: in my class, no trash will ever pass the assessments. I cultivate monsters, not idiots."

Wang Dong'er:?

Xiao Xiao:?

The other students of Class One:?

Every student had a question mark over their heads. It was not that they had a problem—it was that they felt their homeroom teacher had a problem.

She had barely arrived before spewing insults, saying she taught monsters rather than idiots. Was she not calling all these new students trash and useless?

Her words were full of belittlement. Was this the teaching method of the Number One Academy on the Continent?

Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao frowned, feeling that this was completely different from what they had expected.

But before they could think further, Zhou Yi on the podium spoke again in a deep voice.

"Everyone who has gotten into a fight since registration, stand up."

The students of New Student Class One could not understand how their homeroom teacher's mind worked.

They had just been admitted as new students. Who would fight for no reason at the academy? And even if they had fought, who would admit it?

However, Zhou Yi was greatly dissatisfied by the students' silence. After snorting coldly, she said with an irritated expression, "Out of more than a hundred people, not one of you has fought?"

"What a bunch of trash! Don't you know that those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre? Now, all of you get outside and run one hundred laps around Shrek Square. Anyone who fails to finish will be expelled immediately!"

As Zhou Yi's words fell, the entire New Student Class One sank into an extraordinarily bizarre silence.

Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Zhou Yi on the podium, wondering whether they had heard wrong.

So not fighting over the past few days was actually a mistake? Just because they had not fought, Zhou Yi, their homeroom teacher, called them trash? What kind of logic was that? And she even dressed it up as, "Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre"?

Most importantly, if they did not run one hundred laps around Shrek Square as Zhou Yi demanded, they would be expelled immediately?

They were not all nobles. Many of them had decent talent, and their families had spent most of their savings to obtain a letter of recommendation from the city lord, hoping to help them advance further.

They had come to Shrek Academy with almost pilgrimage-like devotion, believing that after being taught by the instructors here, their strength would improve faster. They could also befriend fellow talented students, making their future paths smoother.

Yet on the very first official day of school, they were already facing the threat of expulsion?

They could clearly hear laughter and cheerful voices coming from the classroom next door, where everything seemed like one big happy family. Why was their homeroom teacher such an unreasonable old woman?

Seeing that no one obediently went out to run, Zhou Yi's gaze turned cold. The aura of a Soul Emperor burst forth, and she shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear me? Why aren't you running laps around Shrek Square? Do you all want to be expelled?!"

Just as the new students exchanged looks and prepared to go outside and run as Zhou Yi had ordered, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Why?"

Zhou Yi's gaze immediately locked onto Wang Dong'er, who had risen to her feet. Everyone else also turned their attention toward this new student who dared question a teacher.

Was he always this bold?

Feeling that her authority had been challenged, Zhou Yi unhesitatingly released six Soul Rings, revealing her identity as a Soul Emperor to everyone present.

"Why? Because you are students, and I am the homeroom teacher responsible for teaching you!"

"Because students should obey their teachers' orders unconditionally! Because the advancement rate of my students is the highest in all of Shrek Academy! Because I am a six-ringed Soul Emperor! Because 'those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre' is a tradition passed down in Shrek Academy for ten thousand years! Only battle can make Soul Masters grow stronger faster! Are those reasons enough?"

A trace of mockery flashed through Wang Dong'er's eyes. She met Zhou Yi's gaze without fear and spoke word by word.

"Why should students obey teachers' orders unconditionally? You are merely a teacher, not a slave master!"

"Is your so-called highest student advancement rate because you expel all the students who fail to meet your standards?"

"If those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocre is a tradition maintained by Shrek Academy for ten thousand years, then why haven't you, a six-ringed Soul Emperor, gone looking for trouble with Soul Sages, Soul Douluos, or even Titled Douluos? Why do you instead use your status and strength to bully weak new students like us?"

"So this is the so-called Number One Academy on the Continent?"
